Taken off their album ‘Undesirables & Anarchists’, the Little Wretches’
song ‘Ballad of Johnny Blowtorch’ is an all-out, guns blazing affair
that will get you off your feet. Get ready to dance, sing at the top of
your lungs and rock out all night long, because the ‘Ballad of Johnny
Blowtorch’ is an undiluted slice of guilty pleasure fun, perfect for a
night out or a road trip with your friends. Electrifying guitars, a
thumping drum line and emphatic rock-and-roll vocals takes this song to
all new soaring levels – but the best part of ‘Ballad of Johnny
Blowtorch’ is actually the cheekily unapologetic lyrics. Here are just
some gems taken from the song – “Your knees are crooked/When you’ve last
slept in a bed/There’s no knowing…Your chiselled physique now hangs
over your body”. Filled with fun, quotable lyrics, the Little Wretches
have really delivered one of their best works with their newest effort.
Clocking in at just 2 minutes and 42 seconds, the ‘Ballad of Johnny
Blowtorch’ may be short, but it’s one hell of a ride – and one that
you’re unlikely to forget any time soon. “Well if you ever I get lucky
and score you wanna be me” – well, the Little Wretches have certainly
scored with this one.
